Concrete Pad

Members Meeting

• Facebook offered us some heavy duty shelving as well.

• Dave would like to make an A frame rack for storing metal outside in the courtyard.

• We got a couple new chairs for the classroom, and got rid of some older ones.

• Jason might start some member classes in May. He'd particularly like to do some "Deep Dives" into some of the tools, with particular emphasis on cleaning.

• Discussion was held about people not putting tools back and about misusing needle nose pliers.

• More people should make numbers for the big clock in the classroom.
